You're welcome, glad to help propose the idea.

How about a second version that flashes only the ENG HBOOT & CWM but leaves data/system as-is? That might also be useful for some folks.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cmstlist:
Ah excellent, I see you edited a second version into the top post.

I will keep this method in mind any time I see someone ask the same question about an HTC phone with S-OFF. It all seems to work the same once security is removed.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] crouchingpossum:
I'm sorry to be so dense but can you tell me how to:

"3. Boot into H-boot and apply the update"

i thought i needed the eng bootloader to apply updates

I understand that i can enter hboot by starting up while holding [power] + [volume down], but beyond that do i choose fastboot or recovery or image crc or what?

Thank you for your patience! You have been super helpful and generous!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mark manning:
You do not need the Eng bootloader just s-off. Once you rename the file and it is on the root of your sd card. Power off the phone and turn it back on holding volume down. The phone will the check for the file and prompt you asking if you want to apply the update. To say yes you then press the volume up button and the phone does the rest. This will give you the clockworkmod custom recovery and the engineering bootloader

[myTouch 4G Android Development] cmstlist:
Might be helpful to reiterate: after you've successfully applied the zip, rename or delete the file from your SD so you don't accidentally apply it multiple times.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bmakk2055:
How would I know if I ask ready have the engineer bootloader?

TYSVM for your help,

I feel ashamed to ask for more help but i am stuck again

i suppose i am an ADB sdk noob,

I ran the pd15img.zip successfully then I went to load CM7 following the sdk directions here:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/TMobile_myTouch_4G:_Full_Update_Guide#Method_via_ROM_Manager

(great easy to follow command line tutorial, thanks so much!)

but i am stuck again :

after:

"... Make sure USB debugging is enabled on the TMobile myTouch 4G by checking Settings » Applications » Development » USB debugging.

6. On the computer, open terminal and run the following commands:

adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/

adb push gfree /data/local/tmp/

adb push hboot-eng.img /data/local/tmp/

adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp/

adb push recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-glacier.img /data/local/tmp/recovery.img

adb push root_psn /data/local/tmp/

adb push su /sdcard/

adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/

adb shell

chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/*

/data/local/tmp/psneuter

..."

I typed:

[adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/

it replied: (1596 KB/s (196120 bytes in 0.120s)]

<- great success, everything moving along as planned

BUT:

I typed:

adb shell

$ chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/*

/data/local/tmp/psneuter

AND: Oh No!

unable to

chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/*

/data/local/tmp/psneuter: no such file or directory

Did i miss a step? I don't understand ; i see psneuter and psneuter.c files in the directory platform tools ...

what is chmod command, btw?

do i need to link this file to the shell or something?

I'm afraid to do anything with the phone while I'm halfway through this process, i apologize for being so very needy, but I'm super grateful for your taking the time to noob me thru this,

i promise I'll do my best to share my knowledge with the next poor noob when this is all said and done,

peace,

possum
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mark manning:
All of that is unnecessary, sounds like you want cm7 so just download it boot into recovery and install it.

The pd15img takes care of most of that and if you install a custom rom it will already have root

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamreez:
Hi,

As the title suggests I lost my HTC mozart in the London tube two weeks back.

Though the microsoft live site boasted of features like find , erase and lock you phone I think it is only possible if you switch on the phone with the same sim.

(I dont think any thief nowadays is stupid enough to do that they would just chuck out the sim and use the phone)

I had informed Orange UK (Where I have contract for the phone but alas with no insurance) and they have informed me that the phone has been black listed and cannot be used anywhere.

I had a few queries and it would be really great if any of you would be able to help.

1) If the imei is black likst can it be used anywhere else (Like in India, Pakistan and all where the black listed numbers might not be shared)

2) Can some one change the imei of the Mozart and use it

3) Is there any way to track my phone based on its imei number

Thanks a lot for your help.

(I would now be using my old Nokia E71 till nokia comes up with some amazing Mango handsets)

Cheers

Shamreez

Is there any way or any application to pause video recording?

If you periodically use Start/Stop buttons, you'll end up a lot of files and you'll need a video editor to achieve result.

a simple pause button for camera ( I have seen it in samsung phones ) will save a lot of time.

I have an HTC Desire Bravo and it suddenly developed this screen issue.

I uploaded images of the phone to my flickr. It seems that perhaps the lcd oil has leaked or maybe water has gotten in. I'm sure it was caused by pressure on the screen as the LED backlights are more visible round the sides now and the inside screen (LCD) seems curved outwards but the outside (digitizer/touchscreen) doesnt seem bent. anyway here's the links to my pictures, If anyone finds a way to fix it without sending it off to get a new screen please let us know!

In order to fox the screen yourself it literally requires you take take apart the ENTIRE phone from back to front. I'm sure you can find a guide on Google, but you'd be really putting your phone at risk if you haven't got any experience with this.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
You can't fix this yourself.. needs to be sent for repair, you'll only make it worse mate
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raheeljessa:
I kinda figured. I was hoping to see if it was possible to open the phone and just blow air between the screen and digitizer.. that way i could theoretically pop them apart with like a bit of surgical tubing and an industrial strength blower.

But if the screen isnt connected with a ribbon and is just silicon stuck on then i'm not doing it. HATE that silicon ****.

Oh and thanks bortak

Hello guys, I recently bought a xperia x10 off my friend. It was running on 1.6 Donut. When I bought the phone the camera was ok (I didn't took any picture but I could go through settings and stuff). I've updated my phone to 2.3.3 today and now whenever I start the camera and start to go through settings or try to take picture it says: "Sorry! Activity Camera (in application Camera) is not responding"

The only options are Force Close and Wait. I've also used "Camera 360" it worked for a while, took a couple of picture and then the same thing happend to that too.

Could it be a hardware issue? cuz I can't return the phone now :(

Has anyone else used the batterycalibration app from the market?

I found that after using it my battery life is worse! I used Juice Defender before and after using this app, keeping the settings exactly the same, and noticed the following changes after ensuring 100% charge at night, the battery state in the morning was/is:

Before using batterycalibration - 99-100%

After using batterycalibration - 93-95%

Nothing else has changed as far as running apps is concerned so I can't understand why I now have this drop in battery. I've also noticed that the battery drains a lot quicker after using this app (only used it once). Juice Defender used to do a very good job of managing my battery but after using the batterycalibration app I'm not seeing any benefit, in fact totally the opposite.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Zhypr:
Have you tested batterylife by timing it yourself? Batterycalibration obviously calibrates your battery. It corrects the displayed %. This means that before, when it said 99%, it could have been 93% as well, but just said it was 99%.
[Desire Themes and Apps] xybadog:
Yes, I check it with systeminfo so I know it's a better indication than just the battery icon.
[Desire Themes and Apps] mr_clean5953:
The app sucks. I calibrated with the app and then calibrated the proper way and the proper way took an extra 30 min to completely charge.

Never use the app. Just charge till green. Unplug and turn off the charge till green while off. Then once green unplug the phone and turn the phone back on let it boot up completely then turn off again and charge till green or ten minutes whichever is longer then unplug and turn on and go into cwm and clear bat stats. Restart phone and enjoy

[Desire Themes and Apps] xybadog:

Hi Guys,

Speaking of battery calibration I am about to go travelling for several months with my desire and have 4 batteries to take with me.

I also have an external battery charger I was going to use to charge them the majority of the time.

Any help appreciated.

Hi ! this is my first post here and i want to say that i love this forum !

but i have a problem...

i am trying to install the Special XDA beta 2

so.. i flashed my phone with the Singapore SBF as its asked... then rooted the phone, then installed Open Recovery

now i boot recovery and once im in there i got nothing in the Nandroid restore/delete section... i just have the Go Back option ...

im stuck there so could anyone help me figure why those option are not there ?

im used to flashing roms on WM phones .. but this is my first Android phone im not really used to it ... im sure this is stupid but i just cant figure why lol

thx
[Milestone XT720 General] LibertyMonger:
You have the wrong version i think. but that one has spaces between in the name, and Open recovery don't recognize a file with spaces. You simply change the name removing them. No spaces. But there is a newer version I think. I will look and post back, or you have a look its underneath you should find it.

**EDIT**

Here it is XT720 XDA special Stock Beta 2 with this update XDA_Special.zip

Or it looks like you have the right one, maybe sticking it in the wrong place. You have to unzip it first, then put it in /nandroid/openrecovery/ XT720 XDA special Stock Beta 2
[Milestone XT720 General] Headhunter01:
